LAMP CONSTRUCTION.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented June 22, 1909.

Application filed November 4, 1907. Serial No. 400,696.

To all whom it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLiAM linawie, a citizen of the United States, residing at Chicago, in the county'ol Cook and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Lamp Construction, of which the following is a specification.

The object of my invention is to provide a simple form of lparts, and method of assempermit a uniformity of coin bling which wil struction with various ornamental. designs. A further object is to shape the parts in such manner, and on such lines, as will reduce a certain artistic effect, which wil be more fully shown in the description.

Figurel shows a side elevation of a form of lamp embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a plan section on line 22 of Fig. 1. Fig. 3 1s a section on line 3-3 of Fig. 1. Fig. 4 is an enlarged section on line 4-4 of Fig. 1. gig. 5 is an enlarged section on line 5'-5 of Referring to the drawings, this im )roved lamp construction comprises a flaring ase B having suitably mounted thereon a stand A,

or end of which extend diagonally formec braces C for maintaining the shade D in desired position. An ordinary gas burner E, is mounted centrally within the shade D, and su plied with gas inthe usual manner througl i the )ipe F.

| The base A, is compose of the duplicate cast, or formed side plates at, and fastened togetherat the corners by means of screws a These side plates a are composed of an outline border strip (1, so formed as to overlap the successive plates at one side thereof. Formed within, and approximately paralleling the outline border strip a is an additional strip a, designed to produce a certain ornamental efleet, known as the mission style. WVithin the outline of the stand A, and fastened to the side plates, to, and held in place by means of strips, a and screws, a are the transparent or semi-transparent glass plates, 'a".

The stand A, is fitted suitably within the ulpper end of the base B, and is fastened t ereto by the screws, (L The base B, is composed similarly to stand A, of the side plates, 6 overlapping and fastened together at the corners by screws, 6 and composed of there by the screws,

the border strip, 0', and having strips, b, approximately paralleling the border strip, 1). Glass plates, 6", are fastened to plates, in a similar manner, as in stand A.

Sui-mounting the upper end of stand A, is a top plate, a", which is fastened to the side plates, a, by means of screws, a". Attached to the top plate, a and projecting therefrom in an upward direction, are the supporting braces, C. The upper ends of these braces havea flattened ear, 0, formed thereon, and are connected to the shade, I), by means of screws, 0

The shade, D, is composed of the vertical side plates, cl, and surmounting these are the angular side plates, (2 and in turn surmounting these, of the side plates, d which last in the figures shown, are constructed of similar lates to N, of the base B. The side plates, d and d overlap at the corners the next successive late, and are fastened (Z and in addition by the screws, 0 where these connect and pass through the plates, '11".

Referring to Fig. '1 and Fi 5, projecting from the inner side of the side plates, d, d and (1 are the horizontal ribs, (1 whose function is to hold the transparent or semitransparent glass plates,d, in a vertical position while their lateral and inward position is maintained by the strips, d, which are heldin place by the screws, (1. The side metallic lates, d, (Z (1, have a border strip d formed integrall r therewith.

In some form of ighting eflects, the shade D, may be used without the stand A, and may then be supported from ceilings or other suitable places by means of chains, or the like, attached to shade D, atthe corners, (1 which are shown reinforced for such pu ose.

T e shade D, or stand A, may be made hexagon, or haveany number of sides, and may. also be various y shaped, Without departing from the elemental principles emodied in my invention.

What I claim and desire to secure by Let- I ters-Patent, is

In a lamp shade a metallic frame comprising a plurality of sections, ornamental glass plates positioned within the frame WlllCli serve as a protecting meanstherefor, each of the frame sections bei igformed with an securin the ornamental glass in place, subove lapping joint compnslng an angularmestantia y as described.
